While candidates no doubt typically want to embrace the big tent of their extended communities, the general public tends to have certain ideas about what constitutes the core values of their municipal community. To examine whether or not the financial interests supporting this year’s San Francisco candidates share the values of the voters whom the candidates are courting, we thought it would be interesting to create federal donor profiles of the campaign contributors for each San Francisco candidate. The data below (parts I-III) was generated by looking up each itemized individual (human) San Francisco contributor of each of this year’s candidates in a federal campaign finance database and pulling all their contributions made to federal candidates. Matching was automated and conservative, so the data may not reflect all federal contributions made.
